The newset Desire build release is now available, and can be downloaded here: http://gamesquare.co.uk/desire.html

At the moment I'm downloading it, after I tried it out, I'll write a short summary about it.

In theroy, this build is now able to handle the battery without any modification, and it can show the remaining energy & precentage of your battery's life.

And according to my hungarian friends, this bulild has finally got a properly working camera application, and now there is lower chance for the freezing of the phone when it tries to wake up after sleeping mode. Up-and-coming...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kromosome:
The solution of the battery-meter problem is now integrated in the instruction!

Newest Desire ROM - almost perfect

Hey guys, now I've tried out the newest and freshly-released Desire build, and I can find no words... I'm amazed, 'cause this release is almost perfect, I've been using it for 2 hours and I haven't experienced any freezes yet.

What's working:

As good as everything

- HTC Sense (at the first start, you can choose from HTC Sense and original Android UI as the default interface)

- All wireless data-connections (Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.)

- 3G data-connection

- Internet-browsing (a bit slow, I mean it's slower than in the WinMo 6.5.x, but it is much more faster than I've expected it)

- Fully and properly working camera application (all of its settings are working as well, even as the face-detector!)

- Video recorder

- Market (the apps can be downloaded, installed and used)

- Weather

- HTC Location

- There are no backlight-issues anymore

- Battery-meter finally works, thanks to the updated zImage

- FM Radio

- HW buttons

- and so on...

What's not or hardly working:

- The reception-stability is not so perfect yet (the phone usually drops the calls)

- The screen should be a bit more responsive, but it's acceptable

But I think that's all... with this ROM you can even send messages, E-Mails, and you can also perform phone calls, for all that the reception isn't so stable at the moment.

I believe that this is a 99% build, and now I can say: this release can be used for common and everyday usage!

Really worth a try! If you want to try out or use an Android build, I strongly recommend this one for you, because at the moment, this is the best and the most usable release!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Crashes:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I copy and pasted the desire files onto the android folder and copied over the older files (I guess thats what I'm suppose to do, otherwise loading it as a folder by itself doesnt work) and now when the Android loads all its information (with the penguin up top with all the text) It just gives me battery read outs like 67% at 35.4 C and its constantly updating/refreshing it. Thats all its doing, its not loading android at all. thanks for any help you can provide.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kromosome:
I think I now what you are doing wrong. At this release, you just have to copy the Android build files only , (and not the whole folder) into your SD card!

Secondly, you have to format your SD card every time you wanna try or use an other Android release!

Try it out once more in this way... it has to be working!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Crashes:
Thanks again Kromosome, works perfectly now!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] blank89:
Sorry total newb here but which files in the folder are the android build files? I thought you needed to copy the folder and rename it android?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kromosome:
You're welcome! :) I'm glad that I could help you!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kromosome:
In some cases you need to do what you've written down: to copy the whole folder into your card and rename it to Android. But only in some cases, to be exact, quite rarely.

However I don't know which build requires to copy the whole folder to your SD - for more info, check out the build's README file, if it has got one. If it hasn't got a README file, I'm 100% sure, that you don't have to copy & paste the folder itself.

Normally, you have to copy the files ONLY into the ROOT of your SD! So, you have to see all kinds of FILES in the ROOT of your card, and not a folder!

And to answer your question: all of the files are the Android-build files, you mustn't miss out any of them!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] blank89:
Thanks, unfortunatly no matter what I do it always goes the same way. I run the two files then the text comes up, fades away then thats it, it goes no further :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kromosome:
Dont' worry, now I can finally see why you are not able to run the Android builds! :)

Read out my step-by-step instructions, which can be found HERE!

You'll see that you do not have to run the "haret" and the "CLRCAD" - because the Jmz dual-boot app automatically does it!

Do exactly what I've written down in the instructions, and you'll definately be able to run & use the ROMs! Do not miss to read out the FAQs and the Tweaks too!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] blank89:
That was the first thing I tried before I first messaged you,sorry. My radio is 2.06.51.07, apparently different radio versions can affect it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kromosome:
Yes, this can be possible. Anyway, do you have an HSPL? Because for all that that this is unconfirmed yet, I strongly believe that the Android builds can not be run and used without the HSPL, and it follows from this: neither with old HD2 ROMs.

The radio version may cause this problem, but this is also unconfirmed at the moment... for example, my version is 2.10.50, but one of my friends has got a 2.12 ver., and he can also run & use the builds... maybe the older versions can only affect it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] blank89:
Done everything you said, just doesnt work, maybe I should wait for a more completed build
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] frits141:
sync?

Works great on my HD2!

Is it already possible to sync contacts and mail with Outlook 2007 instead of only Google mail?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] blank89:
frits141 do you mind if I ask what radio version are you using?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] frits141:
On my first post i was using radio 2.10. Now testing 2.12 and i see no defference till so far.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kromosome:
HOT!!! Newest Desire release!

HOT!!!! The newest ported Desire Release is available HERE!

At the moment I'm downloading it, after the download finishes, I'll install the release and make a short summary about it.

According to the website, these things are new in the new V5:

- No more sleep of death

- Much faster performance

- Battery life improvements

- No more call drop out when screen turns off

- No more GSM network disconnection in sleep

- High stability

In theories, this is the fastest Desire build at the moment.

Anyway, if the V4 was 98-99% usbale and there were no problems with it (except for the phone-calls and the reception-stability), what may we expect from the V5? :D

Up-and-coming in any case...

i get android running but evrytime i restart my phone it stops working.when i press the "boot with android icon"..nothing happens
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kromosome:
I've not experienced this effect yet. Which build do you use? Do you use Jmz dual-boot app, or another multi-boot prog?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Chitown021:
I'm running the Desire v5 build and I'm having trouble getting rid of the robot voice problems as well. When I get home I'm going to look into flashing a new rom to my phone (currently using the stock one). everything else seems to work great. I can't wait until this is stable enough to use as a rom and get rid of WM for good. that's the way this phone should have shipped to begin with!

I am getting a blank screen. is is normal to see a blank screen during the boot up.. I tried to wait and wait but after the small commands for booting up turned green, it shows just a black screen. I'm just new to these things and still learning.. Please help..

BTW, I tried it like 10 times.. same reponse..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] matthewharmon102:
what android build are you using? ive only tried 1 so far but i thought the issues were spread accross all builds so didnt bother looking into others, but if you have one thats working better then my current one that i would like to try it out. i have the accelerometer working but no calls and no camera, plus i need to run through the setup wizard every time i load it! as for the radio, ive read this on several other threads, although most of them are based on older android builds. i had issues with 2.12 in both wm and android, and have read that 2.11 is the latest that will work, does the wm rom you use make a difference? i was using cleanex dse v15 (wm 6.5) but i have recently updated it to v1.7 (wm6.5.5).

as you said, every build is an improvement, and i think there will be a lot of happy hd2 users when an android rom is released, as we have all been shunned by wp7 :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kromosome:
The reason of your problem can be a lot of things:

- Did you adjust the backlight settings in the WinMo?

- Which build do you use?

- Do you have an HSPL?

- Which ROM do you have?

- Had you format your SD card before you tried out the build?

According to the Gamesquare, in the Desire V5 the backlight problems and the annoying freezing when the phone tries to wake up can absolutely not be experienced, but if you use the original and old HD2 ROM (and you do not have an HSPL), you're not able to use & handle any of the Android builds.

I turned my phone off while running android and, as expected, it booted back into windows mobile. Now, when I run HARET it does the linux penguin thing, shows HTC then turns off the phone and restarts into windows mobile. What do I do?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kjohnsen:
Kromosome - may I first of all thank you, and thank the luck that made me find this thread by random. I was on the edge of selling my HD2 after a year I was quite bored with it. But with Android on it its amazing!! The App the layout. Everything. :D

One problem tho. Even tho im using the dual boot thingy like the guide told me, and made sure that both files where named correctly. It wont let me set any ringtone. Its sillent no matter if I resive a call or a text. Im not sure why?

And yes I know about haret.exe, but shouldnt haret be run'd by the dual boot? If not is there any way to get to it from Android and run it? :)

Best reagrds. :)

Just found this new app on the market called "BlueKeyboard"

I just did a search for Bluetooth keyboard hoping to find some free software that will allow me to use a mini Bluetooth keyboard on the go without rooting.

Unlike the other apps on the market that require you to buy 10 dollar drivers, this one is free and is compatible with the Apple wireless keyboard.

Pretty sure its new judging by their first blog post from 2 days ago.

http://sotolog.net/bluekeyboard/2010/07/15/log3.html

On another note,Can anyone confirm if this keyboard here will work, since it says only HID profile keyboards are supported.

Sorry to bump such an old thread but this is exactly what I was looking for. Can someone advise me on how to install this on a rooted Captivate. I'm familiar with apk's and odex's but after downloading the file above I'm a little lost. Please help a semi-noob :o
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
Just unzip it and put the apk on the root of your sd card and install it through astro
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] lrs421:
Thanks, I tried that. I cant find an .apk file any where in that download.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] killakarl:
You probably just have to rename the file by taking the .zip off and it should be an apk

It has been a long wait but two of these adapters have popped up on ebay..

The question is to trust or not to trust :p

Seems pretty awesome huh!

This seller has no feedback!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/Angled-adapter-...tem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e5cf99471

For a little more you can get it from a slightly more reliable seller.

Even has a picture of it being used with the evo :D

http://cgi.ebay.com/XT800-HTC-EVO-M...ultDomain_0&hash=item2eae668ca4#ht_3238wt_822

The thing is both adapters look exactly the same!

Has anyone found a better source??

Here's another one, that isn't angled.

I actually think this one is better, wish I had held out now =(

Kinda pricey.

Since I already have a micro HDMI to standard HDMI male, I went with a pass thru standard female HDMI to standard female HDMI for $1.50 shipped.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:
nice find! i'll bite from the seller with no feedback, eBay protection has us covered anyway

don't forget 8% off with bing cashback if you pay with paypal. take advantage of it while you can, it ends at the end of the month.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Tenny:
Great find! Def going to grab one!
[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
I signed up for bing, got the cheaper one and saved 55 cents :D

Let's hope this goes well.

At least were in it together :p
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
I'm in for one as well, altho I ordered from the seller that had some feedback (40-something), so if I don't get it soon I'll be back ASAP to find out if you guys got yours. :p I'll let ya know how it goes either way, I hadn't even seen the thread when I jumped on it, I saw the link on one of the older threads about HDMI cables.

I really wanted this for traveling, even tho chances are I won't use it much, at 'least I'll have the option of using the EVO's HDMI-out without having to carry another HDMI cable. I already carry a standard HDMI cable that I can use for my laptop and for my camera (with an adapter as well). I don't mind the 90 degree angle as much as the size, looks pretty big, we'll see.
[EVO 4G Accessories] freerein100:
Does the Evo have a micro hdmi or a mini hdmi connector........never mind
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Micro HDMI, otherwise known as Type D (mini is Type C)... Hence why we need this, and why finding the proper cable was such a pain initially (unless you wanted to pay 3-4x what it's worth at the Sprint store or Best Buy).

There was a third seller with these adapters at some point on Ebay btw, the link in the thread I alluded to before pointed to that seller... Apparently he's out, and the seller I got it from has sold at 'least one of 'em (it's in his feedback), so there's already a few people out there that has tried it out, heh. FWIW
[EVO 4G Accessories] th3b055:
Hard to tell from that pic, but think that we'll be able to use the micro-usb to charge the phone at the same time? That device looks bulky to me
[EVO 4G Accessories] GripR:
^^^^

Exactly what I was thinking.
[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
It definitely looks like it.. I messaged the seller

We'll see.
[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
The new one I added to the OP isn't angled.

It looks like it would definitely work alongside USB.

Damnit! Why couldn't I wait a few days..
[EVO 4G Accessories] strung:
I would get the cable. That bulky thing will probably snap off your HDMI port.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Neo3D:
is there enuff room to plug in the power cable too? cuz u will need it fo sho!
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
I got the angled one today, have you guys gotten yours? I think we ordered from different sellers... I'm surprised I got it this quick, must've made it from HK to Puerto Rico in just over a week! I briefly tested it this afternoon, the pics in the gallery and videos shot with the phone itself displayed perfectly on my Vizio HDTV using some cheap HDMI cable I had lying around.

It seemed like it wasn't gonna work when I first got into the gallery, but once you click on slideshow or playback the output comes up on the TV and you get some controls on the EVO. A notification also shows up on your EVO's notification shade when you hook up the cable btw, and an HDMI icon stays up there until the cable's unplugged.

I forgot to test it with YouTube, I'll get to it later and report...

I can hook up the angled HDMI adapter at the same time as a retractable USB cable that has a pretty slim plug btw, but the fit is really really snug, I wouldn't wanna use it like that all the time, YMMV. I actually went ahead and ordered the non-angled one you posted too, I figure I'll toss that one on my travel bag and I'll leave the other one at home.

The angled one plugs in securely and it doesn't feel like it's gonna damage the port at all unless you yank on it like a savage, but the angle w/the cable coming at you is pretty awkward, if it was angled in the opposite direction it'd be more natural... You could hold the EVO parallel to the ground and have the cable go straight down. I guess if you were gonna lay it down on it's screen this would be fine but then you have no access to playback controls.

Oh and I can plug in the angled adapter with a TPU case just fine, the TPU cases have a pretty minor edge/lip around the ports tho. I can try it later w/the Sprint silicon gel if anyone's interested, or I can post a pic of the small plug on my retractable USB cable. I'm pretty sure the OEM cable wouldn't fit alongside it, since it has a much wider edge around the plug.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Alright, here's some of the retractable USB cable I mentioned that I was able to plug in a the same time as the adapter... If you want to see a pic of both of 'em plugged into my EVO simultaneously lemme know and I'll get my camera and take one later (I took these w/the EVO itself).

The original EBay listings have been updated w/more pics of the angled adapter than what they had when I originally ordered it, but at this point I'd just go w/the straight one, even tho I don't think it has any less of an edge than the angled one.

They both look pretty thick, if you're gonna be playing full length movies off your EVO you might just wanna charge it beforehand. :p
[EVO 4G Accessories] topdnbass:
I received it today!

I must say I am definitely pleased..

First of all it works. No problems with youtube, gallery, or anything else (yet)

Also, I thought i would hate the strange angle but I learned not only to like it but love it.

How could that possibly be, you ask? (one handed control! lol. If anythings gonna break the port it's this)

Also the standard usb fits in the port comfortably for me.

Overall it's sturdy, well made, and i've had 0 problems so far.

That said, i'd still go with the non-angled if i had the choice.

Sorry about the big pictures, they were taken in all their 8MP glory using a second evo. I did a little resizing.

P.S. This works exactly like any other hdmi cord/adapter. You can view pictures in gallery using slideshow, videos on youtube work (although I think htc needs to work on nailing down the 720p concept :p), and videos work great.
[EVO 4G Accessories] scl23enn4m3:
If anyone is looking to sell their angled one to replace with a straight one, shoot me a PM ;).
[EVO 4G Accessories] Impulses:
Yikes, I'd be scared to hold it like that! I'll have to try the OEM cord at some point, maybe I had the wrong impression and it's actually got less of a border than the retractable one I was testing with. Just bought an extra 6-ft red HDMI cable off MonoPrice for like $5 shipped, cheapest I could find it locally was $20, can't believe they still sell for that much, sigh.
